For Everyone’s Tastes

Courchevel is the perfect getaway that with activities and events for everyone. It’s full of luxurious restaurants, high-end shops, high-brow bars and night clubs and the best variety of ski slopes. This allows for any type of winter sports and unbeatable service.

Courchevel was created by Laurent Chappis, an architect/town planner, and was planned during World War II by the Vichy regime in 1942. The ski resort was special as it was the first resort in France to be built from the bottom up, rather than being built around an existing town. The first ski lift began in March 1946 and a chairlift between Courchevel and Les Tovets was created. The highest plan of Les Tovets later became known as Courchevel 1850. The naming of the levels of the resort became a controversial topic as Courchevel was previously the name of a small hamlet further down the valley, where occupants were enraged at the idea of having their name changed to “Lower Courchevel.” Eventually a compromise was reached and the agreement was to name the levels of Courchevel with their altitudes to distinguish between the levels.

Unstoppable Growth

In shaping Courchevel into a major resort, Emile Allais spent 10 years in Courchevel as a technical and sports director in 1954. He was the founder of the French Ski School and used his skills and experiences, which he had gained in America, to help with the shaping of Courchevel. A local mountain aviation expert, Michael Ziegerhe, began the construction of the Courchevel airport in 1961. He saw the potential for one and lobbied the local authorities to allow him to begin the construction. The airport became the first international mountain airport and is known internationally as having one of the shortest runways in the world.

First a Matter of Skiing

The 1942 vision of the French Commission of Tourism had been met by 1973, when neighboring resorts were linked to Courchevel. This linking of Val Thorens and Mottaret created the largest ski area in the world. You will find the biggest concentration of world-class ski resorts in the world, within the Tarentaise Valley. A weekly lift ticket allows you a day to ski in each of the most well known neighbour systems: Paradiski (Les Arcs, La Plagne) and Espace Killy (Val d’Isère and Tignes).

A Worldwide Dimension

The town of La Tania, in the Courchevel Valley, was built for competitor accommodation during the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville. The Olympic ski jumping and Nordic combined competitions for those games took place in Tremplin du Praz in Le Praz. A ski jump in Courchevel 1850 located on the snow front was recently removed for safety.

‘Reach the Sky’

In the season of 2011-2012 Courchevel changed the names of each of the four villages, in order to rebrand. The change involved removing the districts association with their altitude. Courchevel 1850 is now known simply as Courchevel, Courchevel 1650 is now Courchevel Moriond, Courchevel 1550 is called Courchevel Village, and Courchevel 1330 has been renamed Courchevel Le Praz.
